I'm interested to know how these packages differ from the BE standard packages.? Are they both ASDL2+ ?

I'm on the £18 / month BE Tariff but am (thanks to my iPhone) an O2 customer.

It would seem as if these packages are better value, but am I jumping to a technology that is likely to offer lower / more congested speeds.?

You know what would be really great, if the speeds of my current ADSL package were met first. It's all fine and dandy quoting these speeds, but you can bet your bottom dollar your not going to get them. I'm on an 8MBit, but it's very rare I get that, more like 2Mbit, if that.

@ Keith - You said it! This should be made illegal along with describing a service as 'unlimited' when it is nothing of the sort. Sites like TR's could be championing this cause. If a product is sold as 8MBit, then this should be the minimum speed one can expect, not a theoretical maximum depending on your distance from the server.

I'm on an 8MBit connection too, the fastest speeds i've seen have been 700 kb/s download for flashes of time (very rare & brief periods), then is settles at anywhere between 50-250 kb/s depending on the site. So I reckon I get on average a 2-4 MBit service.

I switched from Be to O2 - pretty sure they didnt have to change anything at the exchange (didnt have any disconnection downtime).

I am getting identical speeds - its just cheaper with O2.

Not sure about the adsl2+, but doesnt affect me cos i only get 5mb anyway.

sucks for you lot (not gloating) I must be very lucky, with sky i have gotten consistently good speeds, cant remember what it is advertised at but i get 1500kbs at the very top end, but usually sit about 1.1-1.3 mbps (different programs give me diff results they could even be the same just dont have the energy to work it out)

This o2 deal looks so good, I may have to pick this up in the near future.
